"Risk your life for a light bulb"
Looks perfectly safe. He's even got his stabilisers deployed!
The bus with the wood fired heater on the back is actually using the gas made by that gas producer for power, not heating.
According to http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=2033, photo of the harvest was taken in Belarus, not in Uzbekistan.
Actually, the crop picking procedure shown is used almost everywhere in Europe, including industrialized nations such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, etc... It's quite a productive method and it avoids back problems due to the fact that the produce pickers are lying down.
Haha, some of them are really too funny.
Patrick, indeed. I've also seen conservators in museums using the same method when, say, working on a large mosaic.
my computer is having trouble loading all the pictures on a large page. could you maybe split big posts into 2 pages? ktnxs
where did you find the wrench pic?
please email me at avidan.the.sane+dark roasted blend@gmail.com
kthx
I want the old handset to plug into my mobile phone. Now THAT would make it easy to hear a caller when I'm in a noisy place!
This was too funny!
I especially like the cute cement truck!
Frooples.(Froopert is out to dinner) :P
The "mouth shutting device" was marketed to supposedly prevent neck sagging (turkey neck)
wow i just spent AGES looking at all those. pretty good
These truly are amazing.
Haha Hilarious pictures!
Great collection, Looks like you keep every funny image you come across like I do.
No, the chin strap (and "turban" headband) is specifically marketed as a beauty product. It contains several supposedly helpful "ingredients" (platinum, geranium, lava powder, yellow ochre) and claims to provide an "easy lift" to the face, even while sleeping. It might well work for sleep apnea, but that's not what it's for.
The 'boost in power?' on the bus actually is a wood carburetor, which actually is some sort of stove, where wood is heated slightly below its flashpoint. As a result wood gas leaks from the wood and can be used as a substitute for fuel. 3kgs of wood can substitute ~1 litre of fuel.
For example, wood gas was used after the WW2, when fuel was heavily rationed in germany.

The Automobile Club of Helsinki University of Technology does actually have a Volkswagen Kleinbus converted into a sauna. With porch.
And it is fully driveable.
